JAKARTA - The manager of the Kampung Rambutan Terminal, East Jakarta, ensures that the intercity and inter-provincial bus fleet (AKAP) departing from the terminal is not only roadworthy, but drivers are also provided with a driving certificate for smooth running and comfort on the way.

"We have prepared a health post for checking drivers, ramp checks for busworthiness, as well as integrated service posts to join the police and other agencies," said Head of Kampung Rambutan Terminal Yulza Ramadhoni, quoted from Antara, Sunday.

Health checks were carried out in the form of urine, cholesterol, and blood sugar tests. After being examined, officers issued a drivingworthy letter for the drivers. If you do not pass a number of medical tests, the driver is not allowed to drive and must rest.

According to him, health checks for bus drivers are required to ensure the safety of people traveling using land transportation modes. Checks are made hours before departure to the destination city.

"Urine and drug tests, blood sugar, blood pressure have been routinely carried out during Eid transportation. So it's not only roadworthy, but the driver must also complete the driver's license," he said.

Previously, Yulza predicted that the peak of the Lebaran 2023 homecoming flow at the terminal would occur on Wednesday, April 19, 2023. "It is possible that the peak of the homecoming flow will be on April 19. That is the prediction we see at the Kampung Rambutan Terminal," he said.

Yulza said that since Thursday (13/4), passengers at the Kampung Rambutan Terminal have increased by 100 percent compared to normal days. Before Ramadan, passengers who went through Kampung Rambutan ranged from 300-400 people per day.

According to him, this number will continue to grow as Lebaran 2023 approaches. The majority of the destination cities for passengers go to Central Java, West Java, and to a number of cities in Sumatra.

"For the most destination cities to Central Java, West Java and Sumatra," he said.
